About 11:30 p.m. Thursday, police and paramedics were called to the 3900 block of South Michigan Avenue where the man, identified as Maurice Paschal, was stabbed in what appeared to be domestic-related incident, according to police.

After the stabbing, Paschal was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:27 a.m. Friday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

The medical examiner's office said the man lives on the 4000 block of South Michigan Avenue. An autopsy determined that he died from multiple stab wounds and his death has been ruled a homicide, according to the office.
